You never know when you start a project just how good it can be..

If you can find something you love, go for it everyday of your life, and it would be really good to you..

I still go to a salon where a gal does my hair, and I don't know if it's because I'm a celebrity but by the time I leave there, we are eating chicken….

You can't wake up looking for the recession..
